Handcrafted 925 solid sterling silver 'Smile of Silla' talisman pendant.
"The Smile of Silla is a Korean cultural artifact from the seventh century that was used as a roof-end tile on a temple in the Silla Kingdom. We picked up a clay replica years ago when living in South Korea and love having it in the home. The smile is believed to soothe bad spirits and shoo them calmly away. It is considered a symbol of protection and positivity. We love the Smile of Silla and wanted to make a silver version to be worn as a talisman to bring good luck and protection to the wearer."
- Tara & Roboan
Their designs are influenced by their backgrounds (Roboan is from Mexico and Tara is from rural Canada), and from their travels and nomadic lifestyle. They spent several years living in different countries including Spain, South Korea, Scotland, Mexico, Canada, and have traveled and spent significant time in several others. The techniques and designs used in their creations reflect this.
They do hand engraving, Mokume Gane (Japanese Technique), Lost Wax Carving and Casting, and are always experimenting with new styles and techniques.
